Chapter 413 Secretly Photographed Josie received a call from Alice the morning after she got drunk. After a moment of silence, Alice said, âWhat the heck happened?â
Josie was briefly confused. Her memories were vague. I think Dexter picked me up after I got drunkâ¦
Then, we bumped into Aliceâ¦
He carried me offâ¦
Josieâs forehead throbbed. She replied awkwardly, âErm⦠Would you believe me if I say heâs a distant relative?â
Alice snorted and said, âWhy would your distant relative bridal carry you?â
Her voice was so loud that Josie instinctively held the phone away from her ear. At the same time, Alice scolded, âYou always said your husband refused to meet anyone due to his disability. Never did I dream that he was Dexter! My goodness, Josie! How could you do this? How could you trick me for so long?â
Josie listened to her scolding quietly and nodded. âDonât be angry. There are good reasons for hiding it.
I didnât have a choice.ââ
Alice took a deep breath. âWhen did it start? Josie, I knew you were courageous, but I didnât expect you to be this daring. I canât believe that youâre in a relationship with Dexter. No, wait. The more important question is, how did you do it?â
Josie bit her lip. âOne needs a bit of luck sometimes, and I was lucky then.â
Alice was silent for a while before saying, âI remember everything. Youâre the woman in those tabloid photos. Iâve always wondered why the woman looked like you. Now I know it was you!â
âAlso, whatâs your status with him? Are you dating him?â
Josie was rendered speechless. She knew it was impossible to continue hiding it. Thus, she confessed, âWeâre married.â
Alice was stunned into silence.
She remained silent for a long time.
âHeckâ¦â
âAre you okay?â Josie asked cautiously.
âMy friend is my bossâ wife. Heck, Iâve been living in a TV drama all this while.â
âThatâs not true. It might be over soon,â Josie said honestly.
But Alice refused to believe her. âCut the cr*p. I saw how Mr. Russell treated you yesterday. He only had eyes for you. He looked so furious like he wanted to kill everyone who touched you.
Josie was stumped. âOther than you, who saw us that night?â
âBilly, but he probably wonât say anything. Mr. Russellâs secretary warned him.â Alice suddenly realized something. That means everyone in the secretaryâs office knew about it!â
âWait, but if they knew, why did you resign from the design department? Was it to avoid suspicion?â
Josie could not tell her that it was Dexterâs punishment for her. âItâs a long story. Iâll tell you about it another time.â
âBy the way, where are you now?â
Josie had just finished washing up when a servant brought her a hangover soup. âI added truffles to the soup. Old Mr. Russell arranged for someone to bring truffles here two days ago and instructed you to have them for your health.â
Josie nodded.
She had not visited Henry for a long time as she was busy dealing with many cumbersome matters.
Moreover, her relationship with Dexter was not going well. She was not sure how she should face Henry.
She felt guilty toward him.
Her phone buzzed with a new message as she was still on the call with Alice. The message contained a few blurred photos, but Josie could see that those photos showed Dexter carrying her drunken self into the car. They were taken from an angle that made it seem like she and Dexter were intimate.
Most importantly, the photos showed her face.
The sender messaged. âPay up if you donât want them leakedâ
Josieâs heart sank. She looked down and messaged back. âHow much do you want?â
